Ghana's GIPC Unveils National Investment Mapping Project to Boost Economic Growth

GIPC Launches Nationwide Investment Mapping Initiative to Boost Economic Growth

The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) has unveiled its Investment Opportunities Mapping Project (IOMP), a comprehensive national initiative targeting all 261 districts across Ghana. The transformative project aims to identify and promote viable investment opportunities throughout the country.

GIPC developed the initiative in partnership with the Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness, and Industry (MOTAI) and the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA). The collaboration brings together three key government agencies to streamline investment promotion efforts nationwide.

The mapping project represents a strategic shift toward data-driven investment promotion. Officials expect the initiative to create a detailed database of investment opportunities, helping both local and international investors identify profitable ventures across Ghana’s diverse economic landscape.

The IOMP will systematically catalog investment prospects in sectors including agriculture, manufacturing, services, and technology. This comprehensive approach ensures no district remains overlooked in Ghana’s economic development strategy.

The project addresses a critical gap in Ghana’s investment promotion framework. Previously, investors struggled to access reliable information about opportunities outside major urban centers like Accra and Kumasi.

Implementation of the mapping project is expected to accelerate foreign direct investment flows into underserved regions. The initiative aligns with Ghana’s broader economic transformation agenda, which prioritizes inclusive growth and regional development.

The GIPC project demonstrates the government’s commitment to leveraging technology and data analytics for economic development across all 16 regions.
